WEEK SIX: TRIAL
(22 remain)

Rise and shine, gremlins. Hopefully you found it in you to make and eat breakfast, despite yesterday's news. At 11am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS, simply stating:

Please go to the Emporium at 12.

Shortly before 12pm, every participant will feel compelled to move towards the Emporium, if they aren't already there. No exceptions! Though they will have to navigate around shelves and merchandise and the like, everyone will fit neatly inside the room. Once all the participants are present and the clock strikes twelve, the doors lock behind them.

Three of the Leaders are there with them: Wolf, Rabbit, and Fox. Wolf speaks.

"Nine hours. You know what to do."

༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the seventh trial! For the next nine hours, the characters are expected to discuss among themselves, ask questions, examine the bodies of the victims, look over the evidence found yesterday, and revisit locations as needed in order to find the culprit(s). There'll be a one hour break from 5-6pm EST, where no mod tags will occur.

Before the trial is over, please remember to place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously.

If you have any questions at any time, please let us know by pinging us on Discord!

I think this is my business, though?

No, it really isn't.

[ she's just leaning in and tugging hua cheng's sleeve, whispering something that is just loud enough to be made out if you're close: ]

Hua Cheng, the RSVP--

[ Because it's Alex, Hua Cheng will let the tug pull him a little away from the two of them. Which is probably a good thing, because he nearly slugged Claude midtrial. Dorothy would not be exempt even if he's not the one cursed this time!!!

Crimson Rain off the string, what will he do when you bring his relationship with Xie Lian into question! ]

- fuck, alright, we need to find out who had it -

[ crimson rain calm down or go sit in the corner. ]

It's the only thing I can think of, given their names were on it. But... it took a while to kick in?

We don't know what it is though... was there one for jealousy? Or ...

... I have one for physical repulsion, if we want to try to. Counteract it.

[ but also, imagine them interacting somehow and making this worse? ...pause. ]

Wait, no, they would have lost their effects by now if they hadn't already been used, right?

Yeah, by this point. We'll... probably just have to keep an eye on [ hua cheng, so he doesn't mid-trial ] them until it wears off.

Maybe we just haven't been able to see any of the signs of it until more of us were around.

[ He's not fucking up another trial day by almost obliterating someone it's fine. But, see: Hilda's response.

He's going to be in such a foul mood for the rest of the day. ]

... Right. No need to be jealous if there isn't anyone around to be jealous of.

[ ... there there. she just pats his arm. ]

It'll wear off.

[ It's like three people were cursed with one RSVP! ]

It's - fine. [ Hua Cheng just won't be able to comfort Xie Lian during the trial, because he's logical enough to know that doing so will make it worse, and it's going to be a spiral of irritation for the next five and a half hours. ]

Let's just... focus. [ And then some. ] If Ochako and Yona had them, then that lends credence to Ochako having been the one to write it. And it's in effect today, when there were no signs of it during our curfew as a group, it had to have been written after.

I just think maybe you should try to give him a little distance. Don't you cling to him enough?

[ Dorothy about to be mid trialed, it's fine-- ]

[While Alex whispers to Hua Cheng, Rufus cuts in to face Dorothy.]

Please come with me.

... Why?

[ She doesn't budge ]

This is a trial. There are better ways to utilize this time.

... [ just gonna try and side step him ]

[His hand snaps out to grab her by the arm.]

What happened to moving forward?

[ xie lian IMMEDIATELY makes a face like a kicked puppy.

he tries to look away... but he keeps looking over? and looking sad...maybe no one will see if he looks sad... miss dorothy would just rather.... oh......... ]

[Rufus ignores Xie Lian.]

[ thats fine. he will. continue to look. really sad. just. the saddest puppy you've ever seen. in the arms of the angel begins to play in the background. ]
